| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range So what determines good dynamics? Is there any spec or part or mfg process that can reliably tell us this? Or you just have to listen? | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range I think slew rate was the 'spec' I'm looking for for a fast,dynamic amp? Do manufactures publish this? I wonder how My Behringer ep2500 compares with the NuForce STA-200 in terms of slew rate? a quick google search did not give me much | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range Hi guys, thanks for all the recommendations....Looks I have a lot of research to do! Seems the running favorite right now is to monoblock the NuForce STA 200 Power Amplifier - will definitely take a closer look at that.BTW...I already am bi-wiring... | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range What do you think about this one?http://www.audio-gd.com/Master/A1/A1EN.htmLooks like to get the benefit you might need to buy their ACSS preamp (based on Krell connectors I think)I have one of their DACs which is fantastic, so would think about t... | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range " $800 gets you a monoblock pair of Outlaw Model 2200 amps. "I will have to check those out...Monoblocks would be fantastic - but was thinking that might be out of my reach budget wise.Rest of my system is Vandersteen 2C mains, Pre is an Onkyo TH... | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range The only one I can think of off the bat that might be good to try is the Schiit Vidar for $700.Right now I am using a behringer EP 2500, which is a pro amp, so wondering if I could add more musicality to my system with a "Hi-fi" amp | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS Well the MP-500 is around $600 more than the 540ML, so not sure if it would be a fair fight. Would be fun to compare, nonetheless. I would be more interested in the 150 vs 500 in the Nagaoka line since the 150 is already so good... | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS What's crazy is that I believe the MP-150 actually has better detail than the 540ML. (Which is what I thought would be the Nag's weakness) I think the MP-150 exposes the 540 as having "fake detail" if that makes sense. Just doesn't sound believabl... | |
| Is There a Speaker for Me/Impossible Requirements? (budget: $2000) +1 for Vandersteen. Get the 2ce sig II used... sometimes can find for $1500 or so (3k speaker brand new) | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS The Nagaoka MP-150 is incredible! I’m only a few records in but the music and emotion is back big time. It’s crazy how the music is just leaping off the vinyl. It’s punchy and dynamic and the mids are smooth and great bass as well. The detail is t... | |
| Will technology make records obsolete one day? If you enjoy searching for records at the local music shops and enjoy the process of cleaning and caring for them and the manual process of playing, then I don’t think you would ever want to give that up....no? I don't think the worlds best DAC wo... | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS opps, my bad...Still a couple hundred more than the Nag. If Garrott could have their stuff on amazon with prime shipping that would be a plus, as well.Again, may consider it if I don't like the nag (I have a good feeling about it, though) | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS Chakster, it sounds mouth watering, but a bit too much $$. Maybe if The Nagaoka doesn't thrill me I will save up for the Garrett. | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS Tracking was set to 2 grams | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS I can see why people really like the 540ML due to it's extremely detailed nature, but for me I think I prefer more warmth (full velvety mid-range and solid bass with good dynamics) even if it means it's at the expense of just a tad of detail. I ju... |
